Refunds
Our 21-Day ''Any Reason'' Guarantee means that items postmarked for return to Chegg within 21 days of the date you place your order may be eligible for a full refund (minus the costs of shipping and a handling and restocking fee), as follows:

1. Return by UPS: In order to start your refund process, you must retrieve your prepaid UPS shipping label from the ''Return'' button on the ''My Account'' section on the Website. You must appropriately package the returned items (to avoid damage) and ship your items to Chegg using that label through UPS. If a book is sent back without proper packaging material (e.g. bubble wrap), and the book has visible damage, you will not be provided a refund.
2. Eligible Items: Our 21-Day ''Any Reason'' Guarantee applies to both rentals and sale items that are eligible.
1. For rental items, the Any Reason 21-Day Guarantee policy only applies to rentals for 90 or more days (semester). Items that are selected for rental for 60 days must be returned within 15 days of the order date. Items must be returned in the condition in which they were sent by Chegg to be eligible for a refund (see Damage and Losses section below for more information).
2. For sale items, Chegg must receive the items in the condition that they were sent out, unopened and without damage or signs of use. If sale items are returned in new condition, you will receive a full refund minus the cost of shipping. If sale items are returned and are not in the original condition the refund amount will be for the original amount minus a 25% fee and the cost of shipping. For books that you have purchased and have been used (including highlighting, handwriting, activated accessory code or removal of pages), the 21-Day ''Any Reason'' Guarantee policy is void and no refund will be issued.
3. Refund Amounts: For eligible items, Chegg will refund the rental or purchase price paid less the costs of shipping plus a handling fee of $5 per item, or a max of $10 per package. Chegg will provide the refund (less shipping costs and handling fees) for eligible items by issuing a credit to the debit or credit card you used for the rental or purchase (or if you used a Chegg gift certificate, by crediting the gift certificate, which will be reflected in your My Account on Chegg.com), within a reasonable time after our receipt of the return package and verification of eligibility. If Chegg determines any returned items are not eligible for refund, Chegg will notify you at your e-mail address on file with Chegg.

Shipping to You
Chegg will make reasonable efforts to ship any book purchased or rented within two days of the transaction, but Chegg does not guarantee the shipment time. You agree to not hold Chegg responsible for shipping problems that may cause your package to arrive late or be damaged in transit. Chegg currently uses UPS as the primary means of shipping for all orders fulfilled from our warehouse (currently located in Kentucky). We strive to send any Standard Shipping orders to military addresses and PO Boxes via USPS, but cannot guarantee delivery; street addresses are preferred.

Some orders are fulfilled by Chegg partners who may employ such carriers as UPS, USPS, and FedEx. Shipping charges are calculated using third-party systems. In addition to Standard Shipping (seven to ten days) and Ground Shipping (four to seven days), Chegg offers Advanced Shipping on some titles. Additional shipping charges will apply. If available, you will see options during checkout for 2-Day and 1-Day shipping. Expected delivery times are two business days and one business day, respectively. Orders must be placed before 10:00 AM, Eastern Time to ensure 2-Day and 1-Day delivery on the next respective business days.

Delivery is available only within the United States. We do not accept orders outside the United States, including territories such as Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, and any military addresses, such as APOs or FPOs.

We cannot guarantee when an order will arrive. Consider any shipping or transit time offered to you by Chegg or other parties as an estimate. We encourage you to order in a timely fashion to avoid delays caused by shipping or product availability. Tracking information will be sent by email as soon as it becomes available and the information will be updated in the ''My Account'' section on the Website.

We are committed to creating a risk-free buying experience through the Service. If you have not received your order in a timely manner and tracking information is available, please contact the shipping carrier as the first step in looking into the status of your delivery. If your textbook fails to arrive, you have 45 days from the original date of order to contact Chegg in order for Chegg to file a claim.

Return Shipping Policy (Rentals)
When you rent items through the Service, you must return those items to Chegg by the end of your rental period. (If you have purchased the book from Chegg, you do not need to return it.) The due date for return will be given to you when you place your order. You will be held responsible for any late return shipments that are not postmarked by the due date. You must ship your items to Chegg at its designated location by your due date to avoid extension or replacement fees. If you do need to keep your rental for longer than the original term, you may purchase the book or buy an extension in the ''My Account'' section on the Website.

We will provide you with a printable prepaid UPS shipping label. Simply log on to the Website and click the ''Return'' button on the ''My Account'' page. Follow the prompts to generate the label. By placing an order through the Website or the Service, you agree to use this prepaid shipping label to ensure delivery and proper accounting of your return.

If your return is not postmarked by your due date, you may be charged an extension fee. If you are charged an extension fee and the rental is not postmarked or returned by the end of the extension period, you will be charged the remaining replacement fee. Please note that this second fee is the difference between the previously authorized charges and the book's costs.

Books should be packaged appropriately to keep them from being damaged during shipping. If a book is sent back without proper packaging material (e.g., bubble wrap), and the book has visible damage, it will be your responsibility to pay for those damages.

Tax
Chegg book rental service and sales have to be taxed in every state, because we have physical property (the books) in every state. Depending on your state, this may be a rental tax, sales tax and/or use tax. Of course, tax rates are different from state to state. You are responsible for paying all such taxes.

Damage and Losses
Once in your possession, damage to or loss of a rental book is your responsibility. You will be charged replacement fees, for books that can no longer be rented. If the book is lost or stolen, a replacement fee will apply. Limited highlighting in a rental book is allowed; handwriting is not allowed. Any writing or highlighting that Chegg deems excessive or that hinders the readability of the book will be your responsibility and you will be charged for a replacement. Please follow all of our guidelines to ensure no fees will be charged to your account.

If you receive a damaged book from Chegg, it is your responsibility to contact us within 21 days to report the problem, so please inspect any item thoroughly upon receipt.

Asset Ownership
All rentals remain the property of Chegg even while the book is in your possession. You may opt to purchase any rented books from Chegg, either at the end of a rental cycle, at any point during the rental cycle. If you wish to purchase a book you have rented through the Service, you can do so by accessing your "My Account" page on the Website and clicking the ''Purchase'' button. In this case, title (ownership) transfers to you as soon as your credit or debit card is authorized for purchase value. If you purchase the title through our purchase program, title (ownership) changes hands as soon as you receive the product.

Indemnity
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Chegg, its subsidiaries, and affiliates, and their respective officers, agents, partners and employees, from and against any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, due to or arising out of your use of the Website or the Service in violation of these Terms of Use and/or arising from a breach of these Terms of Use.
